Camarillo, Calif. — Sept. 18, 2008 — ESPRIT Mold Version 9, the latest version of computer-aided-manufacturing (CAM) mold software created by CAM industry leader DP Technology, will be on display Oct. 1-3 at the 11th Design Engineering & Manufacturing Solutions Expo in Osaka, Japan.

Visitors to the ESPRIT booth at the International Exhibition Center Osaka can expect one-on-one interaction with staff from DP Technology’s resellers, as well as demonstrations of new software upgrades.

The latest release of ESPRIT Mold includes significant performance increases for the 3D programmer that result in the reduction of cycle times of 25-50 percent or more while simultaneously increasing part quality and reducing programming time and effort.

ESPRIT Mold is a member of the ESPRIT family of CAM software, which also includes programming for 2-5 axis milling, 2-22 axis turning, 2-5 axis wire EDM, and multitasking mill-turn machining and B-axis milling.

Each year, a new version of the ESPRIT Mold software is released, providing users with significant advancements. This particular release incorporates a large number of advancements that include a new geometric kernel that provides support for a wider variety of solid and surface part geometry, enhanced 3-axis machining cycles for increased performance, improved user interface — making it easier and quicker to create toolpath — improvements to the existing 5-axis machining cycles, and a new 5-axis “AutoTilt” machining cycle that automatically creates a collision free 5-axis machining cycle from existing 3-axis toolpath. ESPRIT Mold is designed to run on both Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Vista operating systems.

On display at the 11th Design Engineering & Manufacturing Solutions Expo, enhancements within ESPRIT Mold v10 reduce the time required to produce part programs, increase the quality of those programs and help reduce machining cycle times.
